OK, I can't wait. Has anyone read the novel? Who's the intervener? What/who caused teacher Dika to commit suicide? I have a few theories: Teacher Sani is the intervener; the Principal had something to do with Dika's departure and suicide -- Chaddok and Waree are just too obvious.

P.S. The Three Jams (Jamnong, Jamnan, and Jamnian) are just too cool!!!!

👍

I thought you'd like it! LMBO!

I totally agree with your analysis of Rain. And you're right, his behavior seemed to be aligned with his character in the first half of the series. It appeared obvious that Rain did not know about Sky's traumatic past (as indicated by Rain being surprised that Sky dated guys). So, on that score, he gets a pass. However, in this ep. (which was slightly different from the novel for this scene) , Rain is portrayed as a bit selfish and consumed with his own love life and his boyfriend -- which often happens in real life when a bestie chooses their boyfriend/girlfriend over the best friend. It's always a tough social choice. I was just saying that is this ep. (however, it may reflect actual real life) showed Rain as that "shitty" friend who seemed to have chosen his boyfriend over his best friend at that moment. Again, you're right. Sky will forgive Rain, as most besties eventually do because they actually do care about one another.

Thanks for your input!

LMFAO!!!!!

I liked the way this ep. played out! GREAT use of the flashback to some of Sky's traumatic history, as well as how Peat carried this ep. with his acting. Fort actually did a fairly nice job at portraying Prapai's "transition" from wanting Sky for just sex to someone who actually cares for this other individual. Good job to both.

Now, let's get back to Rain!!!!

Hmm! Let's see here!

1) Sky told Rain what the deal was between him and Prapai and Rain promised NOT to basically give out info or interfere. THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN!
2) Rain answered Sky's phone WITHOUT permission to an "UNKNOWN" caller (who just happened to be Prapai). BOY MUST'VE HAD ESP!
3) Rain told Prapai all about Sky's condition. AGAIN, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PROMISE?!
4) Rain LEFT his SICK best friend (with someone else) because he didn't want to drive back and forth from his boyfriend's house to get his homework! WTF! HE COULDN'T BRING HIS HOMEWORK OVER TO SKY'S PLACE?? PHAYU COULDN'T BRING HIS WORK TO HIM??? AM I MISSING SOMETHING?

I'm sorry. But in this ep., Rain is made out to be a pretty shitty best friend! A pretty shitty friend period!

Nicely stated. Couldn't have said better myself.

Everyone is putting this "romantic" tone on Sky's and Prapai's "hookup." Yes, I said it! Hookup! That's all it was at this stage. Prapai saw Phayu go and get "his boy." So, when he saw Sky in trouble, he took the opportunity to "come to his rescue." But, he didn't do it for free. Prapai wanted some "tail" in exchange for his assistance, and Sky (probably feeling pressured and thankful for the help) said O.K. It was simply a hookup to pay for the help given. Sassy Sky probably thought nothing more about it than that.

I hope you're right. I think it would add some reasoning to the Sky/Prapai storyline. Remember, Sky already said Prapai was as a**hole, who only wanted sex. After discovering his best friend gave this "stranger" his number and practically "stalked" him, Sky would appear to be justified.

Hmmm! Could the reason be that Sky felt pressured to have sex from a guy he "thought" was helping him, only to find out all he wanted (at least at that time) was sex? I also read the novel and yes, Sky has a backstory. But, as you said, the series has to stand on its own merit. And right now, this ep. portrays Prapai as a rich, stuck-up, horny a**hole, and you wonder why Sky isn't impressed. Hmmm! I wonder!

Interesting POV! When I first started reading Mame's work, I originally thought she was trying to communicate the plight of girls and young women in their culture, but using the BL genre to do it (i.e., substituting boys and young men in place of girls and young women). Thereby, the men of their culture would see that rape, sexual violence, and domination of girls and young women were not cool. Then, I read more and more, I began to wonder if she was just a man-hating, $$$$ grubbing sicko...

Well, you might be right on that one... P.S. The Taiwanese and South Koreans, IMO, do much better period dramas.

Remember, this is a "period" drama set in the late 1930's. That could account for the many eps. Also, lgbtq+ rights were non-existent and lgbtq+ people were ostracized, socially and legally.

Thank goodness it's only 8 eps. LMFAO!

Many of us feel ya. But, some of this MDL crowd don't seem to have a problem with that and justify it by saying, "to each his own." And, unfortunately, they're correct!

Oh! Those are really good theories. I was kind of thinking along the lines of your #2 theory (in order to stop or slow down Aye). That was until Aye interceded with Thua and his parents and thereby assuring Aye's loyalty.

Interesting point about the notebook. I'm curious as to why yout think it was Thua? Because you think Thua wanted to know Aye's reason for being at Suppalo? I'm kind of the opinion it's a little of both the couple and the plot., whereby Akk and Aye are both protagonists and the Suppalo system is the antagonist. Akk is on the inside and Aye is on the outside. It's this relationship to the system that draws them near to each other.

I was the one who coined the "power bottom" because that's the vibe I got from the novel. No, I haven't seen the bts. But, I will. I'm NOT a Mame fan by any means. She very popular and somewhat "talented" (if that's even the right word for her) at what she does. I've stated for years and will continue to state, she does more harm for the lgbtq+ community than good. It's definitely about the $$$ and power for her, and she achieves it. I'm off my soapbox about Mame now. LMFAO!

I can agree with this. I'm not sure you saw it that way. But, in the novel, I got the impression Mame was making Sky out to be a "slut", especially the way he's described in the novel.

You're right! All good points. I also read the novel and came to the same conclusion. However, we can all agree or (agree to disagree) that Sky being "forced" is a matter of perspective, even in the novel. In the ep., Sky appeared scared of the situation he was in and wanted a way out. Is that being "forced?"
I guess it depends. The ep. also made it seem that Sky was allowing Prapai to "take what he wanted" possibly a means to an end. I really don't know. But, once the decision was made, it was game on for Sky.
